I.R.C. § 9039(c) Review Of Regulations
I.R.C. § 9039(c)(1) —
The Commission, before prescribing any rule or regulation under subsection (b), shall
transmit a statement with respect to such rule or regulation to the Senate and to
the House of Representatives, in accordance with the provisions of this subsection.
Such statement shall set forth the proposed rule or regulation and shall contain
a detailed explanation and justification of such rule or regulation.
I.R.C. § 9039(c)(2) —
If either such House does not, through appropriate action, disapprove the proposed
rule or regulation set forth in such statement no later than 30 legislative days
after receipt of such statement, then the Commission may prescribe such rule or regulation.
Whenever a committee of the House of Representatives reports any resolution relating
to any such rule or regulation, it is at any time thereafter in order (even though
a previous motion to the same effect has been disagreed to) to move to proceed to
the
consideration of the resolution. The motion is highly privileged and is not debatable.
An amendment to the motion is not in order, and it is not in order to move to reconsider
the vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to. The Commission may not
prescribe any rule or regulation which is disapproved by either such House under
this paragraph.

For purposes of this subsection, the term “rule or regulation” means a provision
or series of interrelated provisions stating a single separable rule of law.
